Correction: in the February issue, Professor Nelson Enonchong’s article ‘Secured lending: when is the lender put on inquiry in a „hybrid” transaction?’ contained an erron ith the case citation for One Savings Bank plc v Waller-Edwards. The citation should have read: [2024] Ch 279, in the first key point and footnote 1. We apologise for this inadvertent error.
